Kehinde Joseph who was addressing the pressmen in Lagos today, on issue which bothered on the security infraction at the airport in Kaduna, said that the situation was worrisome.
The Lawmaker said it was a time to take decisive action to save the country. According to him, “It is not a time for us to begin to lay blames. It is not a time to begin to be partisan. It is not a time to begin to point accusing fingers. It is a time for the leadership of this country to rally each and everyone of us to begin to come to the same page and be on the same page”
“It is saddening that we can have a security breach to a point of infraction in the airport”.
“We seem to be involved in so much political activities as of present but there are critical issues affecting the lives of Nigerians. We seem to be involved in 2023”.
“If our roads are not safe, if our rails are not safe and if our airport which is the beginning point, if our airways are not safe, it calls for us to suspend anything political to begins to address critical needs of Nigerians”.
“If we don’t have Nigeria, we might not be having the elections. If we don’t better the lives of the people we are seeking to govern, then we would have failed totally. My concern today is a call for all of us, all leaders to come together in a bi-partisan approach to find solution to this insecurity problems”.
The Chairman House Committee on Agriculture, stressed that a bi-partisan approach is what is required to tackle the spat of insecurity in the country.
“My call is that each and everyone of us from the executive to the legislature, from the Federal to the State, to the Local Government, to the district heads, to come together to proffer solutions and provide security for Nigerins which is the primary objective of government”
“It is a point for us to call on Mr President and each and everyone of us to drop our party divides to seek for one thing which is solution”, he said.
